The Guide to the Scriptures

Pratt, Orson

One of the first Twelve Apostles called after the restoration of the Church in modern times (D&C 124:128–129). He had been a member of the Church only six weeks when the Lord gave a revelation to him through Joseph Smith (D&C 34). Orson Pratt was also a missionary for the Church (D&C 52:26; 75:14) and served as Church historian for several years.
